SS’11

This summer’s palette evokes a feeling of desert dwellers…cooler shades of oatmeal, white, nickel, ink and cobalt evoke warm neutrals of caramel, sand, mocha and cocoa with injections of coral and magenta.

Inspiration was loosely taken from tribal ceremonial dress…the saturation of colour…the hollow cast beads accenting the spine…skeletal seaming that sculpts the body…jersey strapping circles the silhouette…emphasis is on the shoulder…

Fabrics…fluid silk batik, sand washed silks and black prints contrast with crisp cotton tailoring, broken tweed, perforated leather
